Learning front-end web dev

I'm almost done the front-end web dev track. I feel like it only teaches you the 'skeleton' of building a web. Is there a more 'advanced' track after front-end that focuses on front-end? Like learning SASS/animations/etc?

There's some overlap but you might want to check out the Web Design Track, it includes SVG animations and sass courses near the end.Of course as Steve mentions below, these courses are available individually in the Library.

I think the track is intended to be a general introduction. There are HTML and JavaScript tracks, and plenty of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript courses that are not in any track.

Hopefully the front end track has given you enough background that you can select what you need from the other courses. Check the Library for what's available.

Are there any concepts I should learn (also including stuff out of treehouse) that would be essential in front-ended jobs? Eg; Design code patterns (if there are any), certain frameworks, etc

Bootstrap comes to mind (in frameworks), and jQuery. The more JavaScript the better.

Right now is a great time to practice JavaScript by using it for solving the Advent of Code puzzles. :christmas_tree:
